  1. 01About 5 minutes

    Answer a few simple questions

    One question at a time, with a clear explanation of why we're asking. You can skip anything that doesn't apply, and you never need to share documents.

  2. 02Instant results

    We identify potentially relevant support

    Your answers are checked against the eligibility rules for the main UK benefits, plus council-run help and energy support.

  3. 03Official links only

    Discover where and how to apply

    Each result explains why it may apply, the basic requirements, what information you'll likely need, and links straight to the official application page.

  4. 04Your choice

    Take the next step

    Apply yourself at your own pace, or ask our team for a helping hand if you'd like someone to point you in the right direction.

What you'll need to hand

Nothing official — no letters, no payslips, no documents. Just rough answers.

  • Your approximate monthly income
  • An idea of your rent or mortgage payment
  • How many children live with you and their ages
  • A rough figure for any savings
  • Your postcode, if you'd like local council guidance

What we do with your answers

Your answers are held on your own device while you use the check. We only receive them if you choose to share your details and ask us for guidance. Saving your progress on the device is optional, and you can clear it at any time.

What we won't do

We won't estimate how much money you'd get, we won't tell you that you qualify, and we won't take a cut of anything you're awarded. Mr Benefits is free for you to use.

You work hard for your money. Make sure you're not missing out.
